Cyber-truck

Well, somebody has to be 1st, and Cuda seems to be the Man for the job. Anyone who tamed a BRicklin should have no trouble handling the Tesla truck. P.S. I have a friend who built a Pacer, Fat Tires offset rims with two tone paint and it looks bad azz, anything is possible.

It's a all air computer controlled system, just set it the way you need it, soft for no load crank it up when you need to

In that display they lowered the rear all the way raised the front all the way to make loading easier, there is still no way I would load my 700 lb bike in there, getting in no problem, backing a top heavy 700lb bike would scare the **** out of me, one person can not stop it from tipping over unless you 6.5 300 lb.

Tesla stock drop over 6% Friday after the unveiling, no it's not for everyone, I dislike the design but I will still get one because of everything else that goes with it.

I sent Tesla a email suggesting that they also build a scaled down version of the big Semi truck they have been testing, for the commercial market and those who can't stomach his over the top futuristic ploy, I really thought (hoped) that is what the plan was, I'm not a movie person never saw any of those futuristic movies, I'm into reality not idealistic imagination, coming home from dinner last night I told my wife I placed a deposit so She brought it up on her phone and said

OH MY GOD it's way over the top, if that's what you want OK

Elon Musk confirms Tesla's 'Cyberquad' as a Cybertruck accessory

At the event, the four-wheeler rode into the back of a Cybertruck as the truck's adaptive suspension leaned back for easier loading, and then the ATV plugged in for charging right there in the bed.

The thing I dislike most is the steering yoke I really want a round wheel not a drag car yoke.

From what I read the SS body is three times the thickness of normal panel parts to add strength because it doesn't use the typical body on frame, their is a lot of strength in the battery pack area but not enough for a work truck, to me the look from the rear is ...

Personally, I think it’s a huge miss from a styling POV. Rivian will take an early lead in the EV truck market IMHO. https://rivian.com/ though price may enter into this, the Rivian starts at $70K.

**CUDA** · 11-24-2019, 09:55 AM

The Rivian will come out first and the high price will be a big obstacle and as you well know a new company with a totally new product WILL have growing pains, with Tesla they will have close to million vehicles produced, with the $70,000 Tesla you will get the 500 mile battery pack, every Tesla on the road is a ongoing test vehicle, they can read all the data when ever they want, keeping track of the battery is very important

The Rivian will look conventional so it will have a large market share but $72,500 starting price is stiff considering the Tesla is 40,000, the big battery will be over $90,000 the only advantage I see it the tax incentive for the Rivian, since Teslas is gone.
So It will be interesting to see If people will pay a extra $30,000 for the Rivian almost twice the price, remember there is Tax on that $30,000 also, for a conventional looking unproven vehicle.

**mjw930** · 11-24-2019, 03:31 PM

Rivian is well funded and has received close to $2B in funding from the likes of Ford, Amazon and Cox Automotive. I agree, Tesla has a huge lead but just take a look at what else is going on in the world of EV’s, China in particular. I’m withholding judgement until I see the production version and the inevitable spin off vehicles.

Just more "MUSKY" smoke and mirrors!!! You'd think the idiots would have tried the windows out before hand. What a lot of idiots... And they design vehicles? They need to be cleaning out stalls at the horse race track!!!
